Physical copies of Sonic Frontiers Definitive Edition for Switch 2 have appeared at Walmart and other stores, with staff reportedly saying sales cannot begin until June 23.
Those retail sightings reinforce last month's insider report pointing to a June 23 launch, ahead of any formal Sega announcement.
The Definitive Edition bundles all DLC, updates and post-launch improvements, while adding better Switch 2 performance, upgraded graphics and shorter load times.
June 23 also aligns with Sonic's birthday, and 2026 marks the franchise's 35th anniversary, giving the date added significance for Sega.
